TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Tallahassee police said they had arrested a man in connection with a shooting on Royal Oaks Drive in May on Friday, October 22.
The shooting took place just before 4:30 a.m. on May 30 in a house on the 2900 block of Royal Oaks Drive.
TPD’s initial investigation showed that several suspects shot and killed a homeowner who confronted them during an attempted car break-in, the press release said.
“Fortunately, there were no injuries in this shooting,” the statement said. “The suspects fled immediately after the incident; arriving police officers could not find them.”
The officers gathered evidence and video from the victim’s surveillance system to continue the investigation. The video helped TPD’s youth department identify a suspect and develop a likely cause for arrest in the case.
TPD said Friday it had charged 19-year-old Chans Costin with attempted first degree murder, shooting in an unoccupied vehicle, breaking in a vehicle, and possession of a gun by a Florida delinquent. Costin has already been held in custody in connection with an independent case, the statement said.
According to the TPD, the investigation is still active and further arrests could be made in the future.
If you have information for the police, contact TPD at 850-891-4200. You can stay anonymous with your tip by calling Big Bend Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS.
